I was in love with this suite the minute I saw it. The colors, the leaves and other images, the gold foil accenting, etc…all of it is so mesmerizing to me. In fact I created a bunch of projects with it and presented this suite during a team and customer event this past July. I’ve already shared most of those creations here on my blog on August 18th, August 25th, August 27th, and September 11th. (This post on September 15th also highlights the beautiful papers in this suite.) But I have two more of the cards to show you.
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube step-by-step directions for creating these cards using the Beauty of Tomorrow Stamp Set, the coordinating Beautiful Leaves Dies, and the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera Pack. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).

If you are new to paper crafting with Stampin’ Up! products, there is an acronym that many of us use…DSP. It stands for Designer Series Paper. Just wanted to share that with you in case you had seen it and were curious.
My favorite DSP is currently Expressions in Ink. The colors are amazing, and the designs are trendy and feature the alcohol ink art technique you may have seen out there. One side of the sheets include gold foiling. So of course it is so much more stunning in person. But hopefully these photos will do it a bit of justice.
I’ve share lots of projects already featuring this paper on May 12, May 14, May 31, June 11, June 18, July 7, August 6, and August 30. But I have to share it AGAIN. Hahaha! Here is my latest card featuring my favorite of all the papers in this pack. Yes, I finally cut it up and used that deep and dreamy green sheet.
And here is the information you’ll need if you wish to recreate what I made.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements for one card…
Basic White Thick Cardstock
5-1/2” x 7-1/2” scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
Shaded Spruce Cardstock
2-1/8″ x 5-1/2″
Early Espresso Cardstock
Scrap for die-cutting pinecone piece
Soft Suede Cardstock
Scrap for die-cutting pinecone piece
Gold Foil Paper
Scraps for die-cutting pine branch pieces
Expessions in Ink Designer Paper
2-5/8″ x 5-1/4″
Directions
Die-cut the pine cones and branch pieces. Trim the branch piece so you just have what you need. (The rest of it can be used for additional cards. OR you can just die-cut the portion you want to use for one card in the first place.) You’ll need a bit of the branches for the outside AND the inside.
Add the designer paper with just a tiny bit of adhesive (so you can remove it if you mess up) to the front 3-1/4″ wide section of the Basic White card base. Then stamp the vertical sentiment. If you mess up, you can always use that designer paper on another card base. I suggest practicing your stamping first on scrap paper. I mass-produced my set of cards. So I used the Stamparatus tool. That way all my stamp images landed in the same place on all 40 of my cards.
Stamp the inside sentiment.
Once you’ve stamped the vertical Happy Birthday and the inside sentiment, add the designer paper layer with more adhesive making sure to tuck in a gold branch piece before pressing all the way down.
Assemble your pinecone/s using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then add to the front with Dimensionals.
Emboss the Shaded Spruce cardstock. Add to the inside of the card on the right making sure to tuck in that second gold branch piece before pressing all the way down.
Ta-da!! Here are a few different versions…different designer paper pieces, different branch pieces, and different pinecone configurations.

The July-December 2021 Mini Catalog is full of many holiday-themed stamp sets. So if you are looking for that, this catalog has plenty to offer. But it also includes a handful of sets that are more diverse or what I consider “all-occasion” and are great for covering some basic card-maker’s needs like birthday, thank you, and congrats. I’m featuring one of them today and pairing it with one of my favorite new border punches from the 2021-22 Annual Catalog to make a winter version and a summer version of the same type of card.
I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this card using this Welcoming Woods Stamp Set, the Evergreen Border Punch, and some fun metallic papers. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post.

Last month (during preorder time for Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators) I created a bunch of projects with products the Blackberry Beauty Suite, a suite that debuted August 3 in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog.

I’m ready to share with you my first set of alternate projects that I made with the July 2021 “The Adventure Begins” Paper Pumpkin monthly subscription kit.
This amazing kit contained the supplies shown below to make twelve fun-fold, outdoor adventure-themed cards.
The cards the kit instructs you how to make are fantastic. But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show subscribers other ways to use those supplies. I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages and more.
Today I’m sharing with you…
How you can turn 12 cards into FORTY (more than tripling the cards in the kit)!
And my “You Shine” 12×12 scrapbook page layout.
Watch my video first by clicking here to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (or you can just click on this image below if you are already in my blog post). Scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned in my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my creations. Then be sure to visit my blog again soon, because I’ll have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing on July 5th and again on July 9th or 10th.
Here are the cards the kit instructs how to make. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)
And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
How you can turn 12 cards into FORTY (more than tripling the cards in the kit)!
After the video ended, I added a couple fireflies to these…
And my “You Shine” 12×12 scrapbook page layout.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today! If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own.

UNITED THROUGH CREATIVITY Celebrate what makes us unique through what brings us together: creativity! In honor of the Stampin’ Up! value statement, “we care about people first”—and in the spirit of World Diversity Day— Stampin’ Up! created a collection of inclusive, multicultural, and multilingual craft elements.

Welcome to the July 2021 Technique Blog Hop! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop to see additional creative ideas that we each came up with using the Alcohol Ink Technique. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the “Next” button.
This technique is addictive…HIGHLY addictive!! My craft room is starting to fill up with fun samples. I shared a couple finished cards yesterday on YouTube.
(Click here to see my blog post with that video, close up photos of the cards and designs I shared, measurements, and a supply list linked to where you can shop in my online store. )
During that broadcast I brought out this sheet of vellum with a more earthly, masculine look.
And I put together this card below. The Alcohol Ink technique definitely is a fun background for alcohol drink images. Hahaha!
The swirly and marbled looks are also great for underwater and sky images. But really, the designs that you can create are just perfect alone with just a stamped or die-cut sentiment. Each sheet truly becomes a work of art.
Here are the details if you wish to recreate the card that I’m sharing today.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Basic White Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 11″ scored parallel to the short end at 5-1/2″
2-1/2″ x 3″
Vellum Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ (start with a larger piece if you wish and trim it down after the ink dries)
Mossy Meadow Cardstock
2-5/8″ x 3-1/8″
Black satin ribbon from the kit
2-3/4″ x 3-1/4″
Tips…
Watch my video to get tips for this technique. As you see at the end of the video, I added Wink of Stella here and there on my design to create the gold veins.
After coloring the whiskey with Dark and Light So Saffron Blends, I colored over it with Wink of Stella.
I added the layered center piece with Dimensionals.
And I finished it off with Gilded Gems that I colored with the Dark Mossy Meadow Blends Marker.
This technique is super popular in crafting right now. You can look it up on Pinterest and see all kinds of methods, tools, color combo inspiration, and end results (some creators even going as far as manipulating the ink itself into imagery – flowers, scenery, faces, words, etc.). You CAN invest in a lot of product to get those results. So that why it’s even more exciting for us in this hop to all share how with just a few Stampin’ Up! products that you may already have on hand for your other paper crafting projects you can get such fantastic similar results. Have fun creating YOUR art!
I hope you enjoyed what I shared. Now be sure to scroll down and click on this “next” button to see what Amy Rudd has to share featuring this technique. I hope our ideas in this hop inspire your creativity!
